<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="text_exposed_show"><b>VALIANT</b> chronicles a century of war as seen through the eyes of women
from across the globe. Adapted for the stage by Lanna Joffrey from Sally
Hayton-Keeva’s book of verbatim interviews Valiant Women in War and
Exile, meet thirteen women who have fought in, struggled through, and
survived conflict. From victim to perpetrator to peacemaker, this
critically acclaimed play takes verbatim interviews to create a
compelling portrait of what women do in a time of war, and explores how
it has shaped their lives and subsequently our own. <br /> <br /> "…war is
not a foreign, distant event, neatly packaged by beginnings and endings,
pertaining to one point in time. It is far too convenient to bracket
wars in dates. Peace treaties may record the end of a war and attempt
to guarantee war will not happen again, but they’re only meaningless
pieces of paper. For, in fact we live in a world of continual war: 300
of them, at least, since the end of World War II…We are just beginning
to find out what women have done, what women are capable of being and
doing and thinking, and without that knowledge we are missing a crucial
link in understanding not only the process of warfare but the human
condition, itself. War is timeless, and it may be something that is
rooted in us, in what it is to be a human being. If that is so, and if
we are to survive, it is important to investigate the parts played by
women in war." --Sally Hayton-Keeva <br /> <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fvalianttruth.wixsite.com%2Fstoriesofstrength%2Fabout&h=ATMOme4kHrz1iAktq3vVIcOHaekFfRHJTFE5DNmeNNlzRO-c4xoStGLQa0ArxmJKDNKG7CihXxG8jPnT7ri4EasW973jO2-8R1MqLu6gejD8Lo2CCeabw2WBdypPqAtROjFGLyPh&enc=AZO-gqdTRogeB65jHxtzr8-aoDAO8aVjskUW3SAeCE-mHpX2qSuxQYkF8WiQO74ySbY&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>valianttruth.wixsite.com/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>storiesofstrength/about</a> <br /> <br /> <b>BAREFOOT THEATRE COMPANY</b></span></span></div>

actor you have to have such a sense of the space and energy/bodies around you.
This is part of what dictates how you move. My favorite part of being both set
designer and actor is when there are parameters that seem to be restrictive,
you are forced to get more creative, which makes it even better and more
satisfying. With a balance of specificity and abstraction, this leaves room for
the audience to visually fill in the gaps for themselves, do some work in
filling out details on their own - same with acting. Suspension of
disbelief! </span></span></i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Gabe McKinley and I were in
the same MFA class at The New School for Drama, and Extinction initially made a debut draft there in 2009. I was always a fan of Gabe’s writing. The brutal honesty of his tone is
unforgettable! We were fortunate to be blessed with a fierce
group of playwrights in our class!
Watching Extinction evolve
over time into its published version has been a true joy! Later I found my way to Lyle Kessler’s Master
Class with Eric, Sawyer, and Raye, who were in search of a comedic scene to
work on for class. Extinction was my first thought, and out of that came our fervent
mission to do the play! </span></span></i></span></div>

familiarity with the cast supports your work and the collaborative
process? If so, can you share how and why you think this might be
important to your work?<br />

were all in Lyle’s class at the same time, and had been watching one another
work regularly week to week. Working in
a class is so vital to really exploring your instrument as an actor, and our
friendship developed out of a mutual desire to consistently push ourselves to
our individual limits. When Sawyer
approached us with the idea of producing Extinction,
he did so with a firm belief that we would thrive together as a cast, and he
was right! There is nothing better than
working with artists you know, trust, and love, because that foundation
facilitates endless possibility within your own work.</span></span></i></span></div>

men. Missy is ebullient with joy, delighted
to join the party, and truly thankful to be in that hotel suite! Finding her effervescence in the text has
been wonderful. I relish exploring her

required for everyone to make the most of the evening, as it were! </span></span></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">When I heard Extinction for the first time, I was 25,
and there were so many notes in its music that I could not hear. Now it’s like a whole new song to me, and
each time I read the play it lands differently on my ear and in my heart. Good writing allows for continual discovery
that way! I read the play through, and am immediately struck by how much time
has passed for me personally since I first heard it. My sense of self has evolved. I’ve grown, and in doing so can recognize the
fight in each character to retain and fiercely protect their perceived identity. Gabe has managed to capture what happens when
we battle against life for the deliciously selfish and merited retention of who
we are. The beauty of the play breathes
in the battle each character wages singularly, even as they all converge for
one night in a hotel suite in Atlantic City.

with each rehearsal. Rigid choices work
against you and can lead to a stagnant exploration. Maintaining a lightness, a sense of play, serves
both in rehearsal and performance to keep discoveries fluid. Leading up to rehearsals, I made a few
initial vocal choices, mostly because the voice is a tool that informs Missy’s physicality. Her laugh floats up like champagne bubbles
and is definitely what I love most about her!
At her core, she is a truly joyful, generous, bright soul! </span></span></i></span></div>

rehearsing a play outside of New York is entirely dependent on the location,
and we are so fortunate to be based in East Hampton for this project! It’s a
lovely place to work, and I’ve so enjoyed my time here. The benefit to working outside of where you
live day to day is that the work can receive a highly singular focus. In college, the papers I wrote at the library
were always better than the ones I wrote in my room. Creating sacrosanct rituals that keep you
connected to your home life ease the difficulty in being away from those
elements and returning to them sporadically.
My husband is also an actor, which aids in balancing the challenges of
working on projects. He respects what I
need to do good work, and wants me to be able to give my best creatively. </span></span></i></span></div>

was three, and my parents took me to see the original Broadway production of Into The Woods. My babysitter had just seen it and
recommended they take me. We were
sitting close to the stage, and Cinderella (Kim Crosby) waved at me, and at
intermission I asked my mother if being Cinderella was her job. She answered yes, each actor plays a
character that makes the story happen for their job. That was that! There was no way I was going to do anything
else but be in a story for my job! Art wakes you up to yourself when you take it
in. Seeing that show changed my life and
defined my purpose, and I was lucky to have parents who were committed to
exposing me to art and storytelling at such a young age.</i><i> </i> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My first
impression of EXTINCTION was that it was brutally funny. There are some
elements of the friendship between Finn and Max that seem very familiar, and
not far off from those of Swingers, Sideways, etc., where the tension
and dissonance of the friendship lies in the difference between one character
who can coast through life more or less effortlessly, while the other, more
aesthete, dorky character is underappreciated, although the audience sides with
him. However, this play goes significantly deeper in it's examination of
those characters and the beliefs and attitudes that shape them and motivate the
actions that transpire. It isn't just humor, although it has plenty of
that; it also strikes a chord in a dark place.</span></i></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I first
worked with Barefoot Theatre Company, more or less officially, at the bareNaked
Reading Series in Los Angeles last summer. That said, Francisco Solorzano is
an old friend from Lyle Kessler's Master Class, which was precisely the scene
study class where Brynne Kraynak, our brilliant cast member brought EXTINCTION
to Sawyer Spielberg and me, and eventually the three of us, as well as the
incredibly talented Raye Levine, started working on it in. In addition to
Raye being an established Barefoot member, Barefoot certainly felt like a fit
because of the actors, writers and directors who've committed to this sort of
material -- the experience of finding writing that you connect with and surrounding
it with people you genuinely love working with to make it happen.</span></i></span></span><br />

the production is that of Max Emerson, the dark, throbbing, soulless id of the
play. He is the embodiment of bravado masking sadness; a deeply flawed
character who you would potentially kill an orphan to hang out with for just
one night. I also designed the sound.</span></i></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In terms of
wearing multiple hats on this production, I think it made us question at many
stages why we didn't simply focus on one role and delegate everything to
someone else. I think the answer was that we've all developed such a deep
infatuation not just for the play, but for each other. Something I hope
to never get suckered into again. Seriously, though, it has been
incredible to be essentially sequestered together in East Hampton and to be
able to live every element of this play together. In terms of sound
design, the friendship between Finn and Max is deeply rooted in a love for the
music of the 90's, specifically the Pixies. For a guy like me, you don't
have to reach far to access a love for 90's indie music. It's always been
ingrained, and was a major element that drew me to this play. Getting to
design the sound was something I'd have knocked someone's teeth out to be able
to do.</span></i></span></span><br />

been many challenging moments in rehearsals, most frequently being those where
Josh Gladstone, our brilliant director, has forced me to explore my upper

nudity regulations of Atlantic City strip clubs. I believe Sawyer and

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-size: large; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I believe
that the universal themes of the play are the give and take that occurs in the
inherent transactional nature of any friendship. We want to believe our
motives are pure, but there is almost always a need satisfied in these
relationships - what happens when that need is no longer met on either or both
ends? How much are you willing to give when you feel you aren't getting enough
in return? Fear of moving on, fear of staying in the same place, growing
old and irrelevant, love of a shared bond and the realization that it might no
longer exist, and whether or not a life full of good times equates to or is at
odds with a fulfilling life, and how best we go about propagating our
species. Hopefully the audience will enjoy an abundance of belly churning
laughs laced with a deeply conscious feeling of self-referential disgust for
months, if not weeks, afterward.</span></i></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">MAN IN SNOW was originally written for BBC
Radio 4 in the year 2000. I had just returned from seeing a play of mine in
Fairbanks, Alaska, and was being interviewed by a local radio station... when a
report came in about a man who was killed in a cabin during an avalanche. He
spent his final minutes of his life talking on a cell-phone to his wife, saying
goodbye. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The phone was hot-wired into a 40’-high
antenna, allowing continued reception. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">This story stayed with me, haunted me. When I
was asked by BBC Radio 4 to write an original radio play, I wrote MAN IN SNOW,
which is totally fiction except for the essential image of a husband and wife
saying their goodbyes in that terrible circumstance. My play won the 2001 Sony
Radio Academy Award.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Around 5 years ago, I had an invitation to travel
to Italy to see some short plays of mine in a theatre in Spoleto. I had been to
Spoleto in 1968 for the Festival of Two Worlds, where I showed The Indian Wants
the Bronx with Al Pacino and John Cazale, and It's Called The Sugar Plum with
Jill Clayburgh. Spoleto was a great memory for me, and so I accepted the
invitation to return there to see the stage-show composed of my short plays. In
Spoleto, I met the director Andrea Paciotto for the first time. His work directing
my plays was brilliant. Andrea’s speciality is physical – visual – theatre.
Mine is very much the art of storytelling. Our combined work was, I think,
unusual and compelling for audiences.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The eight Italian actors performing my plays asked
me if they could stay together as a troupe and continue to perform other plays
of mine. Of course I said 'yes' and Compagnia Horovitz-Pacciotto was born.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">To date, Andrea has directed nearly a dozen of
my plays in Italy. A few years ago, he asked if he could put my radio play MAN
IN SNOW on stage in Italy. His stage-production of MAN IN SNOW was astonishing.
It inspired me to write a fully-realized stage-play based upon my radio script.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">During the past year, I developed the stage
version of MAN IN SNOW at The Actors Studio in NYC, working closely with
Francisco Solorzano of Barefoot Theatre. Francisco is a close friend of
Pacciotto. I have worked with Barefoot Theatre on literally dozens of my plays.
When Igturned 70, Barefoot </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">4:38 PM</span><span style="font-family: "arial";">heater and Francisco Solorzano organized the 70/70 Horovitz
Project… 70 of my plays were given readings and/or full productions by theatre
companies around the globe.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Francisco Solorzano and I worked closely developing
MAN IN SNOW for the stage, doing rehearsed readings of developing drafts of the
stage play through four separate performances of MAN IN SNOW, spaced throughout
a full year at The Actors Studio in NYC, and Orlando Shakespeare Theatre in
Florida.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The play is now scheduled to be performed at
Gloucester Stage during September and October 2016, followed immediately by
performances in NYC at LaMama in November.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The play tells the story of a man caught in an
avalanche, but centers on parents grieving for a dead child. The play is very
much a study of grief and its effects on marriages and families. I have done
exhaustive research on these important life-issues. I have seen audiences’ profoundly
emotional response to both the radio play and the stage version of MAN IN SNOW.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">MAN IN SNOW was originally written for BBC
Radio 4 in the year 2000. I had just returned from seeing a play of mine in
Fairbanks, Alaska, and was being interviewed by a local radio station... when a
report came in about a man who was killed in a cabin during an avalanche. He
spent his final minutes of his life talking on a cell-phone to his wife, saying
goodbye. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The phone was hot-wired into a 40’-high
antenna, allowing continued reception. </span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">This story stayed with me, haunted me. When I
was asked by BBC Radio 4 to write an original radio play, I wrote MAN IN SNOW,
which is totally fiction except for the essential image of a husband and wife
saying their goodbyes in that terrible circumstance. My play won the 2001 Sony
Radio Academy Award.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Around 5 years ago, I had an invitation to travel
to Italy to see some short plays of mine in a theatre in Spoleto. I had been to
Spoleto in 1968 for the Festival of Two Worlds, where I showed The Indian Wants
the Bronx with Al Pacino and John Cazale, and It's Called The Sugar Plum with
Jill Clayburgh. Spoleto was a great memory for me, and so I accepted the
invitation to return there to see the stage-show composed of my short plays. In
Spoleto, I met the director Andrea Paciotto for the first time. His work directing
my plays was brilliant. Andrea’s speciality is physical – visual – theatre.
Mine is very much the art of storytelling. Our combined work was, I think,
unusual and compelling for audiences.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The eight Italian actors performing my plays asked
me if they could stay together as a troupe and continue to perform other plays
of mine. Of course I said 'yes' and Compagnia Horovitz-Pacciotto was born.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

my plays in Italy. A few years ago, he asked if he could put my radio play MAN
IN SNOW on stage in Italy. His stage-production of MAN IN SNOW was astonishing.
It inspired me to write a fully-realized stage-play based upon my radio script.</span></span></span></div>

When Igturned 70, Barefoot </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">4:38 PM</span><span style="font-family: "arial";">heater and Francisco Solorzano organized the 70/70 Horovitz

MAN IN SNOW for the stage, doing rehearsed readings of developing drafts of the

a full year at The Actors Studio in NYC, and Orlando Shakespeare Theatre in
Florida.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "opensans" , "serif";">Since
I met Israel Horovitz in 2009 and our collaboration began, his wisdom, passion
and wonderful artistry has been a great inspiration. And some of his thoughts
and ideas about theatre have become precious instruments in my director's tool
bag. One of the strongest traits of his writing is the sense of humor. Horovitz
is able to use it with sensitive and always surprising mastery, not for the
sake of writing easy entertaining comedies, but as a necessary ingredient to
tell poignant stories. Irony helps the audience open up to the world of the
play, engaging with the characters, feeling the pulsating current of the
narration and experiencing real moments of moving beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "opensans" , "serif";">"If
you want to make the audience cry, first make them laugh." And this is
what happens also in <i>Man in Snow</i>. We giggle and laugh at David's
humorous conversation with his wife Franny. We follow the engaging recounting
of his travel to Alaska's highest mountain peak <i>Denali</i>, one of most
beautiful and magic natural places on earth, and the mesmerizing vision of the
Northern Lights. We feel suspended in a time of remembrance and we are
gradually lead into the introspective revelation of David's world of unexpressed
passions, hidden memories, deepest sorrows and regrets. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "opensans" , "serif";">Horovitz
depicts a journey, from the lightness of the initial scenes to the touching
depth of the final intimate moments. David's attempt to reach the top of the
mountain, becomes a ritualistic journey of reconciliation with his own life,
never restored after the accident in which he lost his son. And we cannot hold
back the tears, when we realize that only surrendering to the most pure and
urgent expression of love, he is able to find peace and reconciliation. This is
what happened to me when I read this play for the first time, and what happens
every time I read it again. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "opensans" , "serif";">The
prose is so full of vivid imagery and powerful symbolic elements that the
staging remains by contrast very minimal, offering the opportunity for the
audience to concentrate on the words and on the emotional journey conveyed by
the actors. The sound design and the music, as well as the sober and very
detailed use of lighting, help support the flow of the dialogues and connect
the various scenes, only suggesting an idea of the environment in which the
story unfolds. The audience are invited to fill the empty space activating
their own senses and imagination. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Mike Reiss has won
four Emmys and a Peabody Award during his twenty-six years writing for
“The Simpsons”. He ran the show in Season 4, which Entertainment Weekly
called “the greatest season of the greatest show in history.” In 2006,
Reiss received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Animation Writers
Caucus. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Reiss co-created the animated series “The Critic” and created Showtime’s hit cartoon “Queer </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Duck” (about a gay duck). “Queer Duck” was named one of “The 100
Greatest Cartoons of All Time” by the BBC. “Queer Duck: the Movie” was
released to rave reviews in July 2006, winning awards in New York,
Chicago, San Diego, Sweden, Germany and Wales.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Mike
Reiss has been a contributing writer to more than two dozen animated
films -- including four ICE AGEs, two DESPICABLE MEs, THE LORAX, RIO,
KUNG FU PANDA 3, and THE SIMPSONS MOVIE – with a worldwide gross of $8
billion. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Reiss’
first play, “I’m Connecticut” set box-office records for Connecticut
Repertory Theater. The Hartford Courant called it “sweet and
hysterically funny” and named it one of the year’s Ten Best Plays.
Broadway World Connecticut voted it Best Play of 2012. </span></span></div>

She received her M.F.A. in Acting from Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts
where she studied under Bill Esper and Maggie Flanigan. She has appeared on
stage at Julie Harris Stage, WHAT, St. Louis Rep, Cincinnati Playhouse in the
Park, Classical Theatre of Harlem, New York Stage and Film, Capitol Rep, The
Prince Music Theatre, The Guthrie Theatre, and CrossRoads Theatre. Recent stage
